Having gone to a 10 day #Vipassana retreat, I recognize that the #technique gives me the #sensitivity and the tools to work on my #adhd.
1. I am aware of #anxiety popping up where I would not have noticed it, before.
2. I can observe my #focus getting twitchy because of my anxiety, trying to find #peace somewhere.
3. I can prevent it latching onto random thoughts.
4. I can redirect my focus to #consciousness, #balance and my #body.This retrains the #compulsion into a me that I enjoy more ❤️🩹

No iron chain, or outward force of any kind, could ever compel the soul of a man to believe or to disbelieve: it is his own indefeasible light, that judgment of his; he will reign, and believe there, by the grace of God alone!

A quotation from Wendell Berry
The rule, acknowledged or not, seems to be that if we have great power we must use it. We would use a steam shovel to pick up a dime. We have experts who can prove there is no other way to do it.

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
When a fact can be demonstrated, force is unnecessary; when it cannot be demonstrated, an appeal to force is infamous. In the presence of the unknown all have an equal right to think.

MENELAUS: But so it has to be.
For the saying is not mine, but it was wisely said,
that nothing has more strength than dire necessity.

A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
There can be nothing more utterly subversive of all that is really valuable than the suppression of honest thought. No man, worthy of the form he bears, will at the command of church or state solemnly repeat a creed his reason scorns.

A Lacanian analysis of addiction
From Bruce Fink’s Against Understanding, Volume 1: Commentary and Critique in a Lacanian Key:
“Addiction” is not, in and of itself, a psychoanalytic diagnosis, inasmuch as it refers to activities found across the diagnostic spectrum. Addictions may, like so many other cyclical activities, be viewed as symptomatic (i.e., compulsive) activities that aim at achieving a form of satisfaction or jouissance that they approach but never fully attain. It is, it seems, the very failure to fully reach what is sought that leads to the repetition of such activities. (Missing one’s objective is what brings on repetition, suggests Lacan, 1978.)
It occurred to me that Alan Carr’s account of addiction sits interestingly with this model, in the sense that he argues addiction involves a misidentification of enjoyment. It’s jouissance in Lacan’s terms, a pleasure-in-pain, rather than something which exists as a more straight forward form of pleasure sensation. It could perhaps, in a Lacanian register, be seen as an argument about searching for a positive core to jouissance which can never be found.

Do you use anything specific for #cablemanagement? I discovered #cablebug(s) years ago and find them quite easy and convenient to use. Also in the pictures: nylon #cablehose(s) that I use throughout the studio.
Somehow #cables are rarely perfectly organized (even when custom made) or laid out, but I keep trying anyway. 🫣😝 #compulsion -

If you oppose compulsory K12 schooling, are there any arguments in favor of it that you take seriously enough to think they're worth refuting? If you support it, what arguments in its favor convince you? I'm writing against it and need additional respectable opposition to argue against.
I'm asking in good faith and looking for citations rather than debates, so boosts appreciated.
